The Football History Boys returned from their summer break and took in the first few weeks of the new 2019/20 season. There was only one way to go for dicussion as VAR dominated the headlines in Britain and so we discuss other moments in the history of the beautiful game where off-field rule changes made an impact on the game that we love!

We also have a new quiz for you too involving the 1997 PFA sticker album: which player loves peanuts? Who owns a restaurant in the Midlands?
